Oh, you're all here.

Welcome.

Hi, Miku♪ Hi, Luka♪

As peppy as ever, I see Saki.

Did something good happen?

We were talking about what we should be doing if we're serious about going pro.

And we decided to play a show at the live house I work at as part of gaining more experience as a band.

Oh, a show?

That sounds fun!

I know, right?!

It's time to let the world know that Leo/need has finally arrived! I can't wait!

The world? That may be going a little too far, Saki...

But the thought of setting out into the world could give us some extra motivation.

That also means we'll have to practice even more, you know?

Okay, we get it!

This is what we chose, so we'll just have to do our best♪

That's why we're gonna need your help more than ever now, Miku. Please!

Hehe. Of course I'll help.

We can practice as much as you like.

Right. We'll be more than happy to keep supporting you girls however we can.

Exactly! Feel free to ask us about anything you like and we'll try to help.

Thank you so much!

Now then, how about we get started with practice.

Sounds good! Let's make today another...

Oh no! Everyone's already here?!

Talk about a late entry! MEIKO, why didn't you tell me about what was going on?!

Haha. I'm sorry, Rin.

You were sound asleep and I didn't want to disturb you.

What...?! Rin?!

You're the ones who created this SEKAI, right? It's nice to finally meet you!

I'm Kagamine Rin♪

I'll be a part of Miku-P's band from now on!

I'm looking forward to working with all of you☆

Miku-P...?

*Grumble*

What a cute nickname.

See? It's so much cuter and easier than just calling you by your regular name♪

So if you don't mind, I'll be doing the same for all of you too♪ Sakki, Ichi, Hona and Shihoppy!

Uh, okay. Thank you...

Hold on...

Shihoppy...?

H-Hehe. Oh no...

She did it to your name too, Shiho... Hehehe...

Honami...

Thank goodness. At least we have each other, Shiho...

Sorry, but can you give me a different nickname?

What?! Why?!

It's so cute!

No, it's not.

I'm certain that Saki's gonna start copying you too.

But your name sounds so much cuter that way...

Yeah, I'm with her♪

Please, Rin, can't you think of something else...?

You want me to change it that badly...?

Hmm... What about Shih?

Yeah! How does that sound?!

Fine... It's better than before...

Yay!

Thanks, Shih♪

Haha. Sorry, Miku-P. Looks like you're all alone now.

*Grumble*

Things are gonna be so much more fun now that Rin's here with us♪

Yes, I think so too.

But that reminds me. When you came here, MEIKO, you mentioned something about our feelings moving forward.

Does that mean you're here because of the same reason, Rin?

The reason I came to this SEKAI?

I'm not really sure...

When I realized it, I was here so...

It may be because you all decided to “go pro” together and gave yourselves a new challenge to face, no...?

Yeah, I think she's right!

I want to help you just like Miku-P and Luka do!

They even mentioned that they'll be performing in a show. You seem to have arrived just at the right time.

What? You're gonna put on a show?!

Yes, we are. Well, we just decided to just a little while ago.

That's so cool!

Have you already decided on what you're gonna play?

No, not quite...

Oh, really?

We don't know what we'll be playing yet, but we at least know what we want to do...

Our goal is to play music that can move the hearts of those who come and listen to it.

Shiho...!

That's so nice! Pure friendship! I can tell how committed you are to each other!

Don't forget to ask if you ever need any help too! I'll do whatever I can to make sure your show's as happy and fun as it can be♪

Thank you, Rin.

Then let's start practicing for it.

Yeah!

Let's make today another good one!

Wow... I'm beat...

But we have to be able to do better than this if we're serious about becoming professionals.

How did my singing sound just now, Shiho?

You sounded good.

And you'll sound even better once you're pitch-perfect throughout the chorus.

Okay...

Got it. Thanks.

Shiho, can you do me next?

Yeah, me too!

You have such a steady beat now, Honami, but your rimshots during the second verse were a little weak. Your rhythm is fine, so just hit it like you mean it.

Oh, that's exactly the part I was worried about. Thank you, Shiho.

And Saki...

Your fingers aren't keeping up during some key changes and you have a tendency to go a little too fast, so you might want to work on your finger rolls.

B-But I'm so bad at that part...

I practiced so much and still haven't gotten it down...

You're playing the part before your synth solo much better now, so try to keep in mind what you've been doing there.

Okay! Let me write that down...

The part before my solo... Got it!

But you've all improved so much compared to before. Let's keep this up and get ready for our show.

...

(*Sigh*... I still have so much work to do...)

(I wasn't able to play the piano for so long since I was in the hospital. Am I holding everyone back...?)

(No, I don't have time for any of that. I need to keep practicing...!)
